Alumnae & Visitors

The primary mission of McCain Library is to support the information and research needs of current 91¿ì»îÁÖ students, faculty and staff.

We also serve graduates of the college, family of faculty and staff; ARCHE interlibrary use patrons; and special guests of the college. Library privileges extended to alumnae, visitors and other "guest users" from the general public are intended to supplement the resources available through the guest's own school or public library, or employer. 

Visitors under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please sign in and out the Visitor Log at the front desk. Visitors are limited to the following usage hours during the academic year (August - May). For the two weeks around exam times, visitor access will be prohibited, in order to prioritize our students.

Note: An individual visitor's library access may be terminated at the discretion of any library staff for violation of policies, disruptive behavior or any activity deemed detrimental to McCain Library or our primary campus community users. 

Librarians are available on weekdays to assist with locating and retrieving resources. To ensure a librarian is able to assist with your research needs, please call 404.471.6096 or email library@agnesscott.edu.

Archives researchers should request an appointment prior to visiting at archives@agnesscott.edu.
